    What do you collect?

    Interesting....just curious, I am fascinated by the circulation of coinage from the U.S. to European citizens and banks which resulted in the hoards of many coins we have today (mostly Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Indian Heads, etc.).

    In your dissertation on Denmark and Danish coins, any stuff pop up about the preference or usage of U.S. Double Eagles or other coins ?

    Ah, sorry! I think I should clarify: my dissertation doesn't touch on coins themselves; my interest in the numismatic side of things was piqued by wanting some kind of "physical" connection to Christian X. As my username implies, I'm a political scientist, so I'm looking mostly at how the Danish state responded to the German occupation. Sorry about not being more clear!

    That is a fascinating question, though; I haven't looked into it before. Given how little Danish gold was issued, and most of it in smaller denominations, I wonder if any of those hoards did exist in Copenhagen banks...

    Very interesting...how did you get into the Kroner's ?

    Many of us like to collect a modern or two from various countries and of various designs (i.e., proof and/or reverse proofs) which is a fun/different way to collect gold every now and then (obviously, gold is alot more than silver for most of us xD).

    Part of my dissertation in grad school is about Denmark during WW2, so I was looking to branch out into Danish coins after previously collecting British shillings when I was younger. Turned out many of the issues were within my price range, so I started focusing on getting quality and higher grades to try and build out my set registry. Started the Swedish line because the coat of arms designs during the reign of King Gustav V really appealed to me. :D

    I also admit I quite like the size of the 2 kroner/kronor issues, being somewhat close to a US half-dollar (another coin that has appealed to me in the past, but which I haven't really pursued yet).

    My interests are mostly Danish and Swedish silver (1, 2, 5, and 10 kroner/kronor), and 2- and 3-mark pieces of the constituent states of the German Empire. I've picked up a few 5-mark pieces in the past, but they tend to mostly fall well outside my price range in the MS that I'd want them in. :)

    I also like collect some of the modern NITC issues, like the Australian Koala and Chinese (PRC) Panda series, as well as the Armenian Noah's Ark design.

    Paying Submission Fees

    in Ask NGC/NCS

    Posted

    Quick question for clarification: if I am submitting multiple tiers of coins (and thus using multiple submission forms) but sending them in the same box, can they be sent back together once all coins have been slabbed? Or is it necessary to pay a separate shipping+handling charge for each form, rather than each shipment?

    Variety: Commemorative Type

    in Ask NGC/NCS

    Posted

    Hello, first time submitter here! On the Online submission form, there is a space for "Variety" and the instructions say that can include "commemorative type." For a foreign coin, would this simply be a brief description of what the coin commemorates, or is this only for technical types/varieties (ie, as the instruction indicates, something like VDB or a 3-leg buffalo nickel).

    Any help would be appreciated!
